commit b5945214b76a1f22929481724ffd448000ede914 upstream.

cpu_pm_notify() is basically a wrapper of notifier_call_chain().
notifier_call_chain() doesn't initialize *nr_calls to 0 before it
starts incrementing it--presumably it's up to the callers to do this.

Unfortunately the callers of cpu_pm_notify() don't init *nr_calls.
This potentially means you could get too many or two few calls to
CPU_PM_ENTER_FAILED or CPU_CLUSTER_PM_ENTER_FAILED depending on the
luck of the stack.

Let's fix this.

[ Upstream commit 3ca676e4ca60d1834bb77535dafe24169cadacef ]

If we detect that we recursively entered the debugger we should hack
our I/O ops to NULL so that the panic() in the next line won't
actually cause another recursion into the debugger.  The first line of
kgdb_panic() will check this and return.

[ Upstream commit 18f855e574d9799a0e7489f8ae6fd8447d0dd74a ]

Stefano reported a crash with using SQPOLL with io_uring:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000003b0
  CPU: 2 PID: 1307 Comm: io_uring-sq Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7 #11

which is task_numa_work() oopsing on current-&gt;mm being NULL.

The task work is queued by task_tick_numa(), which checks if current-&gt;mm is
NULL at the time of the call. But this state isn't necessarily persistent,
if the kthread is using use_mm() to temporarily adopt the mm of a task.

Change the task_tick_numa() check to exclude kernel threads in general,
as it doesn't make sense to attempt ot balance for kthreads anyway.

<title>uprobes: ensure that uprobe-&gt;offset and -&gt;ref_ctr_offset are properly aligned</title>

commit 013b2deba9a6b80ca02f4fafd7dedf875e9b4450 upstream.

uprobe_write_opcode() must not cross page boundary; prepare_uprobe()
relies on arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() which should validate "vaddr" but
some architectures (csky, s390, and sparc) don't do this.

We can remove the BUG_ON() check in prepare_uprobe() and validate the
offset early in __uprobe_register(). The new IS_ALIGNED() check matches
the alignment check in arch_prepare_kprobe() on supported architectures,
so I think that all insns must be aligned to UPROBE_SWBP_INSN_SIZE.

Another problem is __update_ref_ctr() which was wrong from the very
beginning, it can read/write outside of kmap'ed page unless "vaddr" is
aligned to sizeof(short), __uprobe_register() should check this too.

commit a33a5d2d16cb84bea8d5f5510f3a41aa48b5c467 upstream.

The generic pending interrupt mechanism moves interrupts from the interrupt
handler on the original target CPU to the new destination CPU. This is
required for x86 and ia64 due to the way the interrupt delivery and
acknowledge works if the interrupts are not remapped.

However that update can fail for various reasons. Some of them are valid
reasons to discard the pending update, but the case, when the previous move
has not been fully cleaned up is not a legit reason to fail.

Check the return value of irq_do_set_affinity() for -EBUSY, which indicates
a pending cleanup, and rearm the pending move in the irq dexcriptor so it's
tried again when the next interrupt arrives.

[ Upstream commit ec9c7d19336ee98ecba8de80128aa405c45feebb ]

Exercising CPU hotplug on a 5.2 kernel with recent padata fixes from
cryptodev-2.6.git in an 8-CPU kvm guest...

    # modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(rfc4106(gcm(aes)))" type=3
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
    # echo c &gt; /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask
    # modprobe tcrypt mode=215

...caused the following crash:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-&lt;snip&gt;
    Workqueue: pencrypt padata_parallel_worker
    RIP: 0010:padata_reorder+0xcb/0x180

     ...

In padata_alloc_pd, pd-&gt;cpu is set using the user-supplied cpumask
instead of the effective cpumask, and in this case cpumask_first picked
an offline CPU.

The offline CPU's reorder-&gt;list.next is NULL in padata_reorder because
the list wasn't initialized in padata_init_pqueues, which only operates
on CPUs in the effective mask.

Fix by using the effective mask in padata_alloc_pd.

[ Upstream commit ec9c7d19336ee98ecba8de80128aa405c45feebb ]

Exercising CPU hotplug on a 5.2 kernel with recent padata fixes from
cryptodev-2.6.git in an 8-CPU kvm guest...

...caused the following crash:

In padata_alloc_pd, pd-&gt;cpu is set using the user-supplied cpumask
instead of the effective cpumask, and in this case cpumask_first picked
an offline CPU.

The offline CPU's reorder-&gt;list.next is NULL in padata_reorder because
the list wasn't initialized in padata_init_pqueues, which only operates
on CPUs in the effective mask.

Fix by using the effective mask in padata_alloc_pd.

[ Upstream commit 6fc4dbcf0276279d488c5fbbfabe94734134f4fa ]

The function padata_reorder will use a timer when it cannot progress
while completed jobs are outstanding (pd-&gt;reorder_objects &gt; 0).  This
is suboptimal as if we do end up using the timer then it would have
introduced a gratuitous delay of one second.

In fact we can easily distinguish between whether completed jobs
are outstanding and whether we can make progress.  All we have to
do is look at the next pqueue list.

This patch does that by replacing pd-&gt;processed with pd-&gt;cpu so
that the next pqueue is more accessible.

A work queue is used instead of the original try_again to avoid
hogging the CPU.

Note that we don't bother removing the work queue in
padata_flush_queues because the whole premise is broken.  You
cannot flush async crypto requests so it makes no sense to even
try.  A subsequent patch will fix it by replacing it with a ref
counting scheme.

<title>padata: set cpu_index of unused CPUs to -1</title>

[ Upstream commit 1bd845bcb41d5b7f83745e0cb99273eb376f2ec5 ]

The parallel queue per-cpu data structure gets initialized only for CPUs
in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set. This is not sufficient as the reorder timer
may run on a different CPU and might wrongly decide it's the target CPU
for the next reorder item as per-cpu memory gets memset(0) and we might
be waiting for the first CPU in cpumask.pcpu, i.e. cpu_index 0.

Make the '__this_cpu_read(pd-&gt;pqueue-&gt;cpu_index) == next_queue-&gt;cpu_index'
compare in padata_get_next() fail in this case by initializing the
cpu_index member of all per-cpu parallel queues. Use -1 for unused ones.

commit 350ef88e7e922354f82a931897ad4a4ce6c686ff upstream.

If the algorithm we're parallelizing is asynchronous we might change
CPUs between padata_do_parallel() and padata_do_serial(). However, we
don't expect this to happen as we need to enqueue the padata object into
the per-cpu reorder queue we took it from, i.e. the same-cpu's parallel
queue.

Ensure we're not switching CPUs for a given padata object by tracking
the CPU within the padata object. If the serial callback gets called on
the wrong CPU, defer invoking padata_reorder() via a kernel worker on
the CPU we're expected to run on.
